Famous quotes containing the word instruments:

    “The universe appears to me like an immense, inexorable torture-garden.... Passions, greed, hatred, and lies; law, social institutions, justice, love, glory, heroism, and religion: these are its monstrous flowers and its hideous instruments of eternal human suffering.”
    —Octave Mirbeau (1850–1917)

    “But when to mischiefmortals bend their will,
    How soon they find fit instruments of ill!”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
